Really worth your time if you are looking for an ink that stands out.
The color of the ink really is GoRGeOUs, if you're looking for a vibrant magenta/hot pink color, you'll love this ink!!
I recommend a Pilot Metropolitan pen if you are looking for a high quality inexpensive (around $15) pen to gift with this ink.
But if you are looking for a subtle elegant green, it is worth a try.
And finally, the flow is pretty smooth, if you are not used to the flow of this ink it may be faster than you expect, but otherwise its a great looking, and wonderful to write with ink.
Grate Ink, works very well with good quality paper, nice color, even spread, I am using it in my namaki vanishing point mountain pen fine nib
If your a lefty, make sure to use a fine nib with this ink just in case
This is quick writing sample with the Monteverde Impressa using a Fine nib and regular paper
Other people have been able to, apparently, so maybe I just have a slightly faulty nib
I became a fan of this ink after watching the video of famous nibmeister John Mottishaw demonstrate the difference between cursive italic and oblique nibs where he uses this ink.[
I use it with an adapter in a couple of Parker pens - Duofold International and a Sonnet, as well as in a Cross Fountain pen
Very useable even for work, as well as for casual journaling.2
It's probably not dark enough for most business use, but the color itself is so beautiful both in the bottle and on paper, as well as in the pen if you're using a demonstrator, that it just makes me stop writing from time to time and stare at it dreamily
That said, it loses two stars because of atrociously poor ergonomics of the cap
I use this ink for notes to myself and friends, as well as for making notes in my reading material.

Now take that wonderful dark blue teal and throw in AMAZING shading potential as well as a generous amount of sheen with a wet pen, on the right paper, in the right light and you have what is one of the most amazing inks I have ever written with.

Strong colour, not waterproof (although so far, a little splash of water has not made the ink run on either cheap notebook paper or expensive stationary.
and I've never had a problem with smearing except on the slickest of surfaces (Life Noble notebooks or shiny paper)
the regular print paper it will show up when you flip it over however I use Cambridge Limited notebook for all my business notes and the paper is thicker.
But I love that it writes well on my cheap notebook papers and my glossy wall calendar.
Some bleed-thru and show-thru with cheap notebook paper
I've had to place the bottle upside down in warm water several times to loosen any hardened ink to twist the cap.

The cap of the bottle was broken and ink leaked in the box.
I use this ink for notes to myself and friends, as well as for making notes in my reading material.
However, the cap of the ink was broken and it cut a long wound on my palm
So far, in a fine nib pen it dries quickly, and even on cheap copy paper doesn't seem to feather too much.
On less expensive copy paper it has a little feathering and bleeding problem.
Writes nice and smooth, and even on the cheapest copy paper I could find the feathering isn't bad.
Very nice o loved it
This ink works very well, even on the cheap copy paper that I have to use at work
